What to do and see in Obidos, Central Portugal: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
When 13th-century Portuguese Queen Isabel passed through Obidos and marveled at its beauty, her husband King Denis I simply gave it to her. For centuries after, the kings of Portugal followed suit, presenting the picturesque little town to their queens as a wedding gift. With its white buildings shining as brightly now as then, the walled city of Obidos is very popular with tourists, its hillside location offering amazing views of the Estremadura area. The medieval castle is a main attraction.

This was our second visit to the amazing and beautiful village of Obidos. Should be the top of everyone’s list of places to visit if touring or holidaying in this area. You can walk right around the village on the castle walls, enjoying the fab views from lots of different vantage points, then enjoy the gorgeous narrow streets of this old Moorish village. Truly stunning.

Beautiful main entrance to the village. You will see in when entering the medieval village and you will love it. Een hele mooie hoofd ingangspoort met ceramiek. Je ziet het bij als je het stadje ingaat. Het is heel mooi.

The pillory is on the main street of Obidos towards the castle. You will find him next to the Church of Santa Maria. In 1910 it was declared a national monument. A cylindrical limestone structure, on one side shows a shield with the royal coat of arms. Really lovely. The whole place is picturesque. Definitely worth seeing.
